Hello, visitor!

During a recent visit to New York, I was shocked by the number of homeless people I encountered. I found people in various states, ranging from those living on park benches, to working poor, living in tent encampments.

I chose to find data based onn the homelessness in that state specifically, from https://data.cityofnewyork.us/Social-Services/Homeless-Encampments/jufg-yyky, where we can collect data from the NYC OpenData Database.

In addition to a simple leaflet image, I’ve also included some buttons to make navigation a bit easier. Additionally, I found that we can add custom Javascript functions to the map - as such, I’ve added a simple Javascript popup to give more information about the map.

Finally, this project has been uploaded to rpubs by publishing using rStudio. Instructions are found here: https://rpubs.com/about/getting-started
